The update includes illustrations, screenshots, and descriptions for each character.
You can check out details on each returning Cold Steel character below. (Description Translations by Gematsu.)
Rean Schwarzer (Age: 23, CV: Uchiyama Koki)
A young man who works as an instructor at Thors Military Academy in the Erebonian Empire. While he was once at the mercy of a great fate that surrounded the Empire, he was able to overcome it with the help of his many companions and collaborators. He has fully mastered the Eastern school of swordsmanship “Eight Leaves One Blade,” and is currently known as the “Divine Blade of Ash.”
In this game, Rean joins his Thors Military Academy Class VII companions after receiving an invitation from former enemy nation the Republic of Calvard for “a certain reason.” Around the same time, he receives a letter from his master Yun Ka-fai, whom he has not seen for quite some time…
Altina Orion (Age: 17, CV: Minase Iori)
A member of the Thors Military Academy Strategy Research Lab. After graduation, she also became partially affiliated with the Imperial branch of the Epstein Foundation.
In battle, her partner combat shell Claiomh Solais transforms into the next-generation weapon “Shield Caliber.” Despite being born into unique circumstances, she is now growing up as a normal human, and sets foot into Calvard with her former instructor and current colleague Rean.
In this game, she becomes the liaison in charge of a “certain matter” at the Foundation’s request.
Crow Armbrust (Age: 25, CV: Sakurai Takahiro)
A young freelance contractor in Taslem, a free city in the north-central region of the continent, who negotiates, mediates, and resolves matters such as international disputes and conflicts behind the scenes.
After overcoming the unusual events that occurred in the Empire and Crossbell, he was able to resolve the turmoil in his hometown Jurai with the help of his companions… Following this, he moved his base of operations not to the Empire or Jurai, but to the free city adjacent to northeastern Calvard.
In addition to using a large-scale motorcycle from the Etwas Company to get around, he also signed a contract with the mercenary group Marduk Total Security Company and has updated his double-edged sword “Double Saber” to a new, foldable type.
In this game, he will join Rean, a good friend and companion from Class VII, in Ored, where Marduk Total Security Company is headquartered.
Fie Claussell (Age: 21, CV: Kanemoto Hisako)
A girl known as “Sylphid,” a B-rank bracer of the Imperial Bracer Guild, who is currently on assignment in Calvard again.
She assisted Zin, Elaine, and the others during the series of turmoil involving the mafia organization Almata last year. Thanks to a mutual acquaintance with Feri, she has also built a good relationship with the Arkride Solutions Office.
In this game, she will join and support Rean and the others, who have been unofficially invited by the Republic. She proposes a “certain suggestion” using her connections with Van and company, but…
Towa Herschel (Age: 24, CV: Nonaka Ai)
A woman who was transferred from Thors Military Academy in the Erebonian Empire to Aramis High School as a temporary instructor.
Though petite and easy to mistake for a student, she is extremely intelligent and highly skilled in operations. Since her school days as president of the student council, she has managed numerous administrative tasks, negotiations, and even commanded an airship.
In addition to being an instructor, she is also a member of an international non-governmental organization, where she fully demonstrates her abilities and continues to earnestly tackle issues such as conflict zones and poverty.
In this game, she joins her younger colleague Rean and former classmate Crow to support them as they visit a facility that her grandfather, a renowned astronomer, once visited.
